What do you like to do outside of work?
I try to get outside as much as possible! I'm an avid hiker, backpacker, and long-distance runner. I love to climbing mountains and I'm so excited to explore all the big peaks in Colorado! I've raced several marathons including the Boston Marathon and done one 50k trail race. I will try pretty much any outdoor activity at least once!

What do you like to do outside of work?
I love creative writing and exploring the intersection of mythology, philosophy, and modern storytelling. I'm passionate about music, contemporary art, and comedy, and I enjoy discovering live performances and exhibitions. I'm also a dedicated coffee and tea enthusiast, from home-roasting beans to brewing loose-leaf teas. Camping and hiking are also favorites.
